To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARY B. TWYFORD, a citizen of theUnited States, residing at Sistersville, in the county of Tyler and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Cleaning Cloth; and I do hereby declare the following to be a fuIL'clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to devices for clean ing cloth, and one of the principal objects of the invention is to provide a brush at one end with a pad covered with cloth for rubbing out spots in cloth or clothes, said pad having rounded and squared or flat surfacs to apply for the purpose 'of removing soiled places in cloth or clothes.

The foregoing and other objects may be attained by means ofthe construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device for cleaning cloth made in accordance with this invention, and

Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of the same.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a bruslrback. and 2 are the bristies for said brush. This brush is of the character usually employed for cleaning cloth or clothes.

Secured to one end of the brush is a pad comprising a lining or padding of batting or other suitable material 3 which extends over the end of the brush and may be extended down at the sides thereof. The padding is covered by a piece of strong cloth 4 secured to the brush back by means of headed tacks 5. The batting or lining 3 extends only to the point (3 and the tacks 5 eX- tend only through the cover at, and in this cloth, comprising the rigid way, the pad is slightly raised as at 7 so that this portion of the upon the cloth. However, for-removing a small spot or soiled place, the rounded portion'S of the pad may be used, and the corners 9 may also be used for small places required to be cleaned.

From the foregoing it Will-be obvious that" a cloth cleaning device made in accordance with this invention while simple in construction is exceedingly useful to persons who are required to clean cloth and clothes, in which both a brush and a pad ofthe character referred to are required.

What is claimed is pad may be used fiat I The h ereindescribed device for cleaning back of a brush, a pad secured to one of the projecting ends of said brush, said pad comprising a lining of batting extending over the top and the longitudinal and transverse end, and a fabric cover for said lining of batting having one end secured to the under side of said projecting end, said cover having its other end extending over and beyond the lining of batting and fastening means securing said other end er the cover to the upper and longitudinal sides of the brush back at a point beyond the lining of batting, said fastening means lying below the projecting surface of the pad to prevent them from coming in contact with the article being cleaned, said pad beino adapted to be used simultaneously Wit 1 or independently of the brush bristles, or used after each sweeping operation of the bristles.

In testimony whereof I atiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
